Disease Course, Treatment Response and Relapse in a Group of Patients with a Primary Diagnosis of Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia: A Cohort Study.

Background: Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is a rare lung condition affecting the bronchioles and alveoli. This study aimed to determine the course of the disease and response to treatment in a group of COP patients.

Materials And Methods: In a cohort study, patients' data including demographic features, chest imaging, spirometry, and blood tests, were recorded.

Early Macular Thickness Changes after Trabeculectomy and Combined Phaco-Trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To assess postoperative changes in central retinal thickness (RT) following trabeculectomy and combined phaco-trabeculectomy using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography.

Methods: In a prospective interventional comparative study, 64 consecutive glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy (32 eyes) or phaco-trabeculectomy (32 eyes) were included. A macular thickness map using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study circles of 1 mm, 3 mm, and 6 mm was the standard to evaluate the 9-subfield thickness preoperatively and again at 1 and 3 months after surgery.
